Logarithmic bacterial counts before and after systematic lavage of the stomach in laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperation surgery. Although the bacterial counts in the gastric juice culture before gastric lavage and in the ascites culture after suture closure were significantly reduced (p=0.007), no significant difference was observed between the bacterial counts in the gastric juice culture and the ascites culture after suture closure (p=0.154).
